I have added sound to my idents. They are sound effects relating to each on along with a section of the song i have used in my title sequence. Even though initially the idea of using sound effects seemed like a good idea, in reality it doesn't seem to work and just sounds tacky and unprofessional.

Instead I have decided to just use the section of the song which works well on its own and ties the idents in well with the title sequence.

I have tweaked and tried to perfect my idents. I have sorted out the timing, and also moved the E4 logo about a bit to sort out the composition. I made sure that the logo bounces in at the same time on each ident as well to keep them consistent.

I also managed to finish my final ident relatively quickly.

I have added the next step from my storyboards. I still feel like the pace isn't quite right and things are panning away far too quickly. I am going to get all of the basic animation done and then work on the pace afterwards.

Today I managed to add the next scene on my title sequence, the girl throwing up into the toilet (nice).

I think I over thought the way I was going to do this and it just looks messy, I should have probably kept the hair and face on the same layer. It doesn't look smooth enough and it is really obvious that they are all on separate layers.
After rendering this out, I also realised that the camera pans over far too quickly. I tried to adjust this, but because there are too many different layers making up the artwork it went all over the place. I decided that its best to just start over.

This time I kept it simple, dividing the scene into just four layers and keeping the motion to a minimum. This looks much better, and far smoother.

I have been working mainly on my title sequence, as I think I should prioritise getting this done before the deadline, and my final ident shouldn't take too long after this.

I have managed to get the next 6 seconds done, I have been working alongside the beat of the music. I have tried to keep the motion of the piece quite fast paced and dynamic to suit the song.

I have added the scene with the girls dancing, with the disco lights on them. It looked strange just having this, so I decided to add a disco ball.

After rendering this file out, I realised that the lights were only shining on one of the women so I had to change around the order of the layers. 

Again in this scene, I have used the null layer to zoom in and out and change the camera angle.

2D to 3D to 2D

Today we expanded on the previous brief. We were given back the original object that we came up with last week, mine being lamp. We had to come up with a random adjective and verb. I chose hanging and curly. We had 10 minutes to illustrate this...

Our brief for next week is to recreate this in three dimensional form and present it in 2D. My initial idea is to wrap curled wire around a lightbulb, hang it from the ceiling and photograph it. I could also create a lightbulb shape out of wire, hang it and light it from behind.

Here is my rational.

Scale/Frame/Format

I have been developing some drawings for my image brief. I have decided that instead of illustrating a classic suit, I am going to draw a card suit instead, seeing as it wasn't specified what type of suit it was.
I prefer this idea and think that it will have a nicer outcome and be easier to visually develop.
